Checklist of Gymnotiformes (Osteichthyes: Ostariophysi) and catalogue of primary types

Abstract: A list of all valid names of species of Neotropical electric fishes (Gymnotiformes) is presented herein. The list is arranged by family and genus and includes all available synonyms. The list is comprehensive through 2016 and includes 240 valid species distributed among 34 genera and five families, including one monotypic genus known only from the fossil record. The presented classification reflects recently published interpretations about the validity of the included names which, in general, are widely accept… Show more

“…This topology was also recovered in Ivanyisky, Albert (2014) and Tagliacollo et al (2016). A recent paper by Ferraris et al (2017) recently used the name "Sternarchella" in reference to the Magosternarchus species citing the findings from Ivanyisky, Albert (2014) as grounds for synonomy. However, in the aforementioned manuscript, no formal synonomy was ever provided.…”

“…The genus Sternarchella Eigenmann (1905), known as bulldog knife-fishes in the aquarium trade, is a clade of apteronotid electric fishes with seven valid species currently recognized (Ferraris et al, 2017) distributed in the lowlands of the Amazon and Orinoco basins (Tab. 1).…”

“…To investigate the correlation between three species traits (maximum body size, geographic distribution area and threat risk) and publication date in the highly convergent African and Neotropical electric fishes, a comprehensive list of species names and publication dates was assembled for 221 and 249 mormyroids and gymnotiforms, respectively. The list and number of species described per year (cSPP) was derived from Bill Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes (Fricke et al ., ), Carl Ferraris’ checklist (Ferraris Jr et al ., ) and, when necessary, updates available in the literature.…”

“…Conhecidos popularmente como "tuvíras", "sarapós", "knifefishes" ou "enguias elétricas", os peixes da ordem Gymnotiformes possuem distribuição restrita a ambientes fluviais neotropicais, ocorrendo do sul do México ao norte da Argentina (Albert & Camposda-Paz, 1998;Albert, 2001;Ferraris et al, 2017), nas vertentes cis-e transandinas, com grande diversidade estimada para a super-bacia Amazonas-Orinoco-Guiana (Albert & Crampton, 2005a). Estes peixes são importantes componentes da ictiofauna noturna (Albert, 2001), com apenas uma minoria diurna, ocupando diversos habitats, desde pequenos igarapés até grandes rios, incluindo cachoeiras, florestas inundáveis e cavernas (Alves-Gomes et al, 1995;Albert & Crampton, 2005b).…”

A diversidade atual de Gymnotiformes compreende cerca de 250 espécies válidas, alocadas em 34 gêneros (Albert & Fink, 2007;Ferraris et al, 2017), distribuídos em cinco famílias (Apteronotidae, Gymnotidae, Hypopomidae, Rhamphichthyidae e Sternopygidae; Albert, 2001;Tagliacollo et al, 2016).…”
